Build a cruck house.  Get two workers. 

We should probably assign them both to food gathering. 

I already built a cruck house:

Build a cruck house for workers and set them to forage for food.

I also assigned them to food gathering (which isn’t in the rules, but it’s worked with huts before so I see no reason it shouldn’t work with cruck houses…).

In any case, there aren’t enough planks left over for you to build another.

You should change your action.

It helps!  Glad you're with us!

Turn 28

A worker is healed of sickness.

A pair of thinker gnomes head out into the thinking field to ponder the meaning of trap making. They look very serious while they're out there.

Another Gnome scoops up the net and heads into the Deep Woods, under the watchful eye of the Speargnome. They scoop up some souls in the net, and return them home before the net falters. The clearing has already amassed quite a collection of bumbling lost souls. The Shaman keeps watch over them.

Another cruck hut goes up and two workers move in. The clearing is now a proper settlement, and had been for some time, no longer just a flat piece of land with a towering mud pile and pit only. A few more planks are created to keep the supply going.

An envoy is attempted to be created, but the lost souls just kinda... bob against it like a buoy in the ocean. If you can remember what the ocean is - these gnomes haven't seen one in quite some time.

Find strange symbols

Wait.  We found 0 herbs last turn, despite gathering 11 food?

Craft Spirit Net

Guys, I want a 'superstitious'. So I hope we have the net, the pie, the symbol, and 5 sticks still available next cycle, or would someone helpfully start it now, so it uses this net I make?

[A_Curious_Cat]

((Ok.  We’re to the point where we just need two of us to forage for food every three turns and we’ll have enough.  I suggest that we wait until the next time we eat, and then construct another cruck house and set them to forage for food.  That will give us enough foragers that we can support two more mouths to feed (either another cruck house not set for foraging, or two mud huts not set for foraging, or two new players (gnomes) who don’t forage -I suggest building a cruck house and setting them to be thinkers-), without anyone needing to forage.))

You found 2 but 2 were used to Heal the Sick. An unlucky turn for herbs.
I'm thinking I might change the way I display resource changes, so it's more obvious what's being used by what. How do people feel about that? It means extra text at the end of the sentance. Or, I could add a spoiler at the bottom of the post to show changes.

[brewer bob]

Gather MUD (and try to remember what the ocean looks like at the same time)

[Kashyyk]

Assign the Basic Totem to the Clearing

[Egan_BW]

Carve basic totem.

I would love to be able to better track consumption and gain, some is totally invisible to players (like if herbs are found/how many were found).  For the stuff you'd allow us to see, I'd love any way to get that info (even if we had to do a job to get it.  gnome accountant!  But if you'll give it to us for free, I like any style of it)
